Compare Huntress to ThreatLocker

Threat Detection

Huntress EDR, with its behavioral analysis and persistent foothold detection, identifies and responds to known AND emerging threats in real time, unlike traditional policy-based systems.

ThreatLocker

No

Uses a policy-based approach to EDR, focusing mainly on known past threats from crowdsourced threat intelligence, which may not effectively address new or active threats.

Ease of Management
